One day, when the boy had j been doing something wrong, ths mother intendiug to ! chastise him, called him and said, " Come here, sir; , what did you do that for ?" The boy, complacently folding his arms, and imitating his father's manner replied • " See here, madam, I don't want to have any words with you!" a little four year old boy was being put to bed, his tit ther S lid to him : " Kiss mamma good j night, Johnny." He at first refused, and then in ! quired, " Ho lieutenant, kiss their mammas?" "Why | do you ssk that, my dear 7" inquired the astonished j maternal parent. "'Cause I'm lieutenant of our coin j pany, and Joe Walsh is captain." Being assured that it was not beneath Lis official dignity to " kiss mamma good night," he thus saluted her and went to bed.

"I will," crie d a cracked voice from the middle of the crowd. The culprit desired the eager candidate for matri mony to approach the cart, which she did ; and he began to examine her countenance. " Nose like a knife," said he, " lipa like wafers.— Drive on hangtna!" —. £ " I am a gretst gun," said a tipsy printer who hrd been on a spree for a week.

[ ~sF° A sporting gentleman, passing by a house ob served on the door the seperate names of a physician and surgeon, and facetiously remarked that the cir cumstance put him in mind of a double barreled gun, for if one missed the other was sure to kill.

No person can fed well while a costive habit of bod}' prevail c; fesides, it soon generates seriou* iff often fatai diseases; which might have lr n avoided ! bV the timely and judicious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distemjiers which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a 'enable family piiysie is of the first important the public health, and this Pill has been perfect.'d with consummate skill to meet that demand.

These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the fcwt and moot comp'ete which the present state of rf science can afford. They are compounded no if the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical process in a state of purin-• and combine3'tOgother in such a manner as to insure the best results. This ' system of composition for medicines has been found in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob tain* J by any The reason is perfectly ob vious. While by the old mod-e of composition, every medicine is burdened with moie or Less of aeri nionious and injurious qualities, by this each indi vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative c'fcot is present. All the inert and obnoxious uu;tl iive- of eao w snbstnnee employed are left behind, the* c.r.'aave virtues only being retained. Hence it is self-evident the effects should prove, as they have proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer, powerful antidote to disease than any other ir.YcVci'/io known to the world.
